22 | Kaleido-ALTO/QUAD
Once you have selected all the monitors you wish to adjust, perform the adjustment (underscan/overscan
or aspect ratio change only). When finished, exit the select/ adjust process by pushing Select or ESC until
no more frames boxes appear on the screen.
The group of monitors selected for adjustment is saved in memory. Pushing the select key multiple times
brings up the following displays:
First push Displays ID numbers and channel assignments on all monitors and the pointer
Second push Highlights the group of monitors last selected for adjustment with white frames
Third push Highlights all adjustable monitors with white frames
Fourth push Exits the select/adjust process – no frames displayed
5.3.7 Assigning a channel to a monitor
Point to a Monitor by pushing Select and using the arrow keys. Then push Input; a scrollable window
opens on-screen listing all the defined Channels stored in the Kaleido-Alto/Quad. Scroll up or down to find
the desired Channel, then push Enter to assign the channel to that monitor.
5.3.8 Changing the video screen aspect ratio within a monitor
The video screen displayed in a monitor may have an aspect ratio of either 4:3, 16:9 or a custom ratio. It
is possible to change this manually from the Kaleido-RCP; this would be done when changing the
Channel assignment to one with video in a different aspect ratio. Point to the Monitor by pushing Select
and using the arrow keys. Push Aspect Ratio to switch the screen’s aspect ratio.
5.3.9 Audio monitoring
The audio output of the Kaleido-Alto/Quad is that from the last-selected monitor. Select a monitor by
pushing Select and using the arrow keys to move the cursor to the desired monitor. Push Audio Mon and
the channel’s audio will be heard. If there are multiple audio groups in the same monitor, then the first
audio will be heard. Push Audio Mon again to cycle through the available audio groups.
Note: if you call up the Volume control slider (using the mouse), you can change the volume with the
keyboard; the left and up arrows will decrease the volume and the right and down arrows will increase it.
After a few seconds the slider disappears.
5.3.10 Full screen display
The user may expand the selected monitor so it occupies the full output display, by pushing the Full
Screen button. Pushing Full Screen again or Escape returns to the normal display. The button is
illuminated when the full screen mode is selected. Using the arrow keys while in full screen mode, the
user can cycle the display through the various monitors in the layout.
When displayed in full screen mode, other commands such as Aspect Ratio, Underscan, etc. and even
text editing may be performed, which is useful when editing small monitor on the layout.
Note: the full screen layout is configurable via K-Edit (see on-line Help ) and can be saved as default by
pressing the Full Screen key on the Kaleido-RCP for more than 7 seconds (see section 5.3 Kaleido-RCP
operation in details).
5.3.11 Resetting the Kaleido-RCP
In case of a frozen Kaleido-RCP, simultaneously push Layout Presets buttons 1 and 10. The Kaleido-
RCP will be operational again.
